An excellent option to diversify the vegetation of its infield - Canadian dwarf spruce Konica. Just imagine, the height of Canadian spruce at the age of twenty is only one and a half meters, and a five-year-old seedling barely reaches twenty centimeters. Many summer residents are asking questions about the planting and care of the Canadian Spruce Conic, the answers to them we try to give in this material.


General information

This sort of Canadian spruce will be quite enough nutrients from the soil and moderate watering, and then for a while. Later, to ensure the tree moisture will be enough and the past rains. In addition to the fact that these miniature trees are very often used in the design of home gardens, some with their help decorate balconies, and there are even those who grow this tree in a pot to decorate it for the New Year . A living beauty, a spruce, is much more aesthetic and humane than an annual purchase of a tree cut for two weeks. Yes, and at their current market value, the maintenance at home of a dwarf spruce is much cheaper.

Planting of dwarf fir

For landing on the Canadian spruce area of ​​Konica, you should choose a well-lit place. The soil in the selected place should be easily drained (it can be done by artificial means, pouring under the roots of expanded clay). Usually saplings are sold with an earthen lump on the roots, and so, the excavated pit should have a much larger size than can be determined by looking at the roots. Planted in this way, the tree will be much easier to move "moving", and will not be sick because of this. Many gardeners are faced with the fact that after planting the seedlings begin to turn yellow needles - this is a sure sign that the soil in your area has an excessive content of alkali. This problem is solved quite simply, just pour under the roots of gypsum and spill it with water. Thus, acidity will be acceptable for normal growth and development of the tree. If you transplant the tree into a pot, it is better to use a special substrate for coniferous trees. In this case, the seedling is installed on the drainage cushion, then it is sprinkled with the landing soil, which must be slightly crushed. As you can see, there is nothing complicated in the planting itself, and care of the Canadian spruce is even simpler.

Care instructions

As mentioned above, it is quite easy to look after Canadian dwarf spruce. These trees rarely require additional watering, except in cases where the land dries up and cracked to a depth of several centimeters. Then the tree is given a moderate watering, and a few days later the soil around the trunk is slightly inflated, so that the roots get better oxygen. If you grow this ornamental tree at home, then you may want its growth to remain small as long as possible. To do this, it is necessary to remove the emerging "candles" and kidneys in a timely manner, then it will be possible to preserve its minimal dimensions for a long time. Well, in other matters, the growth rate of this pine is so insignificant, because in a year it grows only two or three centimeters. But at the same time, you must remember that, before the age of two, these trees should in no case be pruned.
